I was going to write today about this bizarre funk I’ve been in for the last two weeks.But as it turns out, I have discovered the cure for said funk: send your 4-years-in-the-making edited volume to the publisher!
Yes, friends, the book is finally finished. I have sent the manuscript.
HOLY SHIT.
The good thing about taking so long to finish is that the publisher has changed their requirements in the meantime – they no longer require you to send a hard copy, just a digital copy. Which is a good thing (Figure 1). (By the way, those pages are DOUBLE-SIDED.)
When my friend and I started this book, we solicited advice from books and friends about editing a book like this. The unanimous advice was: DON’T.
Well, I will say that it was hard work and very frustrating, and I don’t think that I will ever do it again. But I’m really glad we did it, and I think the final product will be something to be very proud of.
It’s really too bad that the bars aren’t open at 9:30 am, because I certainly feel like celebrating.
